Today students received the results of their AR STAR test, which measures their reading level and assigns a ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development). For appropriate challenge and maximum growth as readers, students should select books with reading levels that fall within their ZPD range to read for AR points.
Point goals were also assigned today based on reading levels and the level of challenge necessary for each student's growth.
The last day to take quizzes to earn points toward this goal is Wednesday, October 10, 2011. The percentage of your point goal that you earn as of 2:45 p.m. that day becomes your test grade for AR for the nine weeks.
Students will have the same point goal for the second nine weeks and will be retested for a new reading level/point goal in January.
Parents, please sign your child's STAR report tonight and send it back tomorrow. I will then send a copy home for you to keep for your records.
